1.0 INTRODUCTION
The production of solid waste is an inevitable consequence of human activity, and its management directly impacts the health of the people and environment surrounding it. Globally, people are discarding growing quantities of waste,and its composition is more complex than ever before, as plastic and electronic consumer productsdiffuse (Awuchi and Awuchi, 2019a). These two trends pose a challenge to cities, which are charged with protecting their citizens from their waste.Industrialization has brought lots of advantages and disadvantages as well. One of the negative impacts of industrialization is the creation of wastes. Industrial waste can be solid, gas, or liquid and each type has different methods of management and disposal. Industrial waste management deals with all types of wastes relating to industries, including industrial, biological and household, before, during, or after production, and even after usage by consumers (Ghobadiet al., 2018). In some cases, industrial waste can pose threat to human health.
Waste in general is produced by human activity, for instance, extraction and processing of raw materials. Industrial waste management is intentionally done to reduce the adverse effects of waste on the environment and human health. Industrial waste management examines the broader context of waste treatment for wastes directly or indirectly originating from industries, and may include corporate sustainability, environmental impact, consideration of government policy and regulations, recycling, containment, handling and transport, centralized compared to on-site treatment, technologies, economics, avoidance and reduction (Chinazaet al., 2020)
Solid waste treatment refers to the methods or process of collecting, managing, and treating solid wastes. Solid waste treatment offers solutions for recycling the items which do not belong to trash or garbage. As long as people and industries have been living and sited in settlements, residential and industrial areas, solid wastes have been an issue. Solid waste management is about how solid wastes can be changed and used as valuable resource or discarded efficiently if no other use is possibly with little or no impact on the environment and human health (Wagner, 2009). Currently, plastic waste (a kind of solid waste) is a global concern due to its negative impacts on the environment, aquatic life, and human health. Solid waste management ought to be embraced by each and every industry and household including business owners around the world (Awuchi and Awuchi, 2019b).
